the obama campaign in 2008 had an elaborate system for mining data about individuals, finding out where supporters would be, mobile idsing them, getting them involved in the campaign. part of the thing that's troubling is this notion that nobody paid for this. you are quite right. if this was done and the campaign didn't pay for it, it would be an in-time contribution, and that would be illegal. if -- unless it was a subcontracting company that did this work for them. so the fcc would have to go through the facts and determine if there was a payment. and that takes time. the structure of the fcc was not designed to be quick and aggressive. it was zpined to make sure that voters decide who gets elected. so it is slow and combersome and often frustrated. host: according to associated press there is no evidence of this company from romney's campaign. under federal law campaigns cannot use corporate treasury funds or resources such as proprietary data analysis for in-kind contributions to federal campaigns. kim, what is your opinion? guest: i would like to know what company it is or if ther

but when i look at the press that bill clinton got or barack obama got, it does not look to me like the press is fawning over them. barack obama is basically, i believe, he stands accused in the media having destroyed the american economy. i think that is absurd. there are business cycles. we have always exaggerated the president's role however we are in a business cycle. i guess i will start by rejecting the proposition that we have a liberal media. although i will say that maybe this is what mr. ambrose was referring to when he said that a large percentage of people in the media are liberal. i think the numbers are fairly strong that college-educated people tend to be more liberal than people who are not educated in college. >> unless they are educated here. [laughter] >> rick santorum takes from that the people should not go to college. i think that would be a mistake. i think that college education will be necessary to even more so in the future. i guess i will just go ahead and say that, whether you see the media as being level or not, it probably has to do more with where your on

president obama began to act immediately. he set in motion a policy to end the war in iraq responsibly. he said a clear strategy and an end date for the war in afghanistan has been going on for less than a decade. he cut in half the number of americans who are serving in harm's way. he decimated al qaeda's senior leadership. he repaired our alliances and restored our standing in the world. he saved our economy. he saved our economy from collapse with some unpopular but bold decisions that have turned out to be right including the rescue of the automobile industry. all of which has made us much stronger not only at home but abroad. if you are looking for a bumper sticker to sum up how president obama has handled what we have inherited, it is pretty simple. osama bin laden is dead and general motors is alive. [applause] governor mitt romney's national security policy in our view would return us to a past we have worked so hard to move beyond. in this regard there is no difference between what gov. mitt romney says and what he h
